Fee structure
At TheraDance, pricing is simple, transparent, and aligned with NDIS guidelines. All services are billed at the current NDIS hourly rate — $193.99/hr. This universal rate applies equally to NDIS-funded and self-funded clients, ensuring fairness and clarity.
Every session is delivered by Kate — a registered occupational therapist and former professional ballet dancer — blending clinical expertise with the artistry of dance.
Why TheraDance is Different
Registered OT + professional ballet dancer — rare dual expertise.
Every movement has therapeutic purpose — grounded in both evidence and artistry.
Welcoming and family-friendly — therapy that feels enjoyable, motivating, and confidence-building.
Transparent and NDIS-aligned — no hidden fees, no gap payments.

Our Getting Started Package brings together everything you need to begin with confidence:
Initial OT Assessment (Telehealth, 90 mins) — getting to know each other, exploring goals, and assessing suitability for dance-based OT.
Associated notes (15 mins) — to support accurate records and continuity.
Program planning (60 mins) — behind the scenes, Kate designs a personalised therapy plan based on your goals and support needs.
Studio trial session (60 mins) — your chance to experience TheraDance in action.
Associated notes (15 mins) — documenting key observations for ongoing therapy.
Total = 4 hrs of OT time @ $193.99/hr = $775.96.
Claimable under NDIS Therapy Supports (Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living).
Important note: For NDIS participants, this package is billed as itemised OT services at the hourly rate, not as a lump sum. Self-managed clients may choose to pay after each session or on completion of the package.
-
After the initial package, ongoing therapy is available if it feels like a good mutual fit and is assessed as clinically appropriate:
Individual sessions: $193.99/hr (typically weekly during school terms, or as school-holiday intensives).
Holiday intensives: Same hourly rate, structured as short bursts of focused therapy.
All sessions include check-ins, caregiver collaboration (if appropriate) and progress updates.
-
OT Reports, including NDIS Functional Capacity Assessments, are billed at the NDIS hourly rate of $193.99/hr.
Time includes direct assessment, associated documentation, and collaboration with other providers.
Please contact us for further information.

In future, TheraDance will offer small-group programs. These will be billed at the same hourly rate as individual sessions, divided between participants.
